I'm not sure of what the NHL rules are regarding penalties but just for reference, Hockey Canada rules (so pretty much everyone else who plays hockey in Canada) the rule states that any penalty that results in an injury is assessed as 5 and a game. Technically that was a cross check and normally that would warrant 2 minutes at most (if at all) but in the context of Hockey Canada rules that would have been the correct call. The NHL likely has different rules for penalties however.
What a was to lose though.
